Chapter 368: Maturity and Prudence
After a not-too-difficult and tortuous process of recognition, Da Kunxuan, who had completed the transformation of his bloodline, finally returned to his tribe.
Therefore, the eyes of these big Kuns naturally fell on him. After all, they were a member of the ethnic group who had not left the tribe for long, and the changes in their bodies were inseparable from the seemingly insignificant human race.
In such a short period of time, the essence of life has undergone such a thorough transformation and advancement. There is no creature in the world that would not be envious of such a change, except for the strongest creatures who have already reached the pinnacle.
"Human, how did you do it?"
Among the Kun group, the largest and oldest one, with many marks left on his body from the vicissitudes of life, asked Feng Qingan:
It was as if a physical divine consciousness was stirring up the deep sea, and terrifying thoughts were sweeping across the vast sea. It did not make any aggressive moves, but asked in a very friendly manner.
It is only because of his huge body and high life essence that even his most friendly gesture is extremely lethal. Creatures that are too weak do not even have the qualifications to stand beside him or listen to his words.
"Elder, I don't know what you want to ask specifically. There are many things I can do, and what you have seen is only the most insignificant part!"
Feng Qing'an's response was full of humility, but this could not hide the pride and sharpness in it.
It's okay to be humble, but you have to pretend when it's time to do so. Otherwise, how can you kidnap all the Kuns?
"How did you make the children of my tribe turn into rocs?"
Da Kun, who had experienced countless long years, asked directly.
Compared to the little Kun, who has a confused mind, is actually just a child and is forced into a contract by Feng Qingan, the big Kun has already tapped the potential of his bloodline and even broken through the shackles of his bloodline. Of course, he knows where his bloodline comes from.
Because of this, after seeing the condition of the people it had brought home, its emotions fluctuated extremely violently.
If it had not seen it with its own eyes, it would have found it hard to believe that there was a being in the world that could so easily help a group like them and allow their bloodline to trace back to their ancestors and get closer to the ancient ancestor Kunpeng who roamed the world without parallel.
As the most powerful and oldest Kun in the tribe, it can feel the shackles imposed on it by some unknown force.
Relying on himself alone, even when his life span runs out and his blood energy is exhausted, he probably won't have the chance to break the shackles that bind him and soar above the sky.
"I'm afraid this is not something you can just say casually!"
Feng Qing'an spread his hands with an innocent look on his face. He didn't mind showing off his own peculiarities.
But before he truly reached a stable and effective contract with this group of Kun, he naturally would not reveal a single thing.
As for the little guy, his mind was muddled and he knew nothing. Even though he managed to survive a round of natural disasters and achieved achievements that were envied by the surrounding ethnic groups, he still didn't understand what was going on.
A fool has good fortune, and this is what is meant by a silly guy like him.
When you are in trouble, you are unaware of it, and when you get benefits, you are also unaware of it.
"What price must we pay to have the same opportunity as my young people?"
The old Da Kun took a look at the young people who were still acting like a spoiled child beside their parents. He could sense that there was some kind of unspeakable and extremely close connection between this young people and the tiny human race in front of them, which was almost impossible to sever.
With its experience, it could naturally see that during the time when its ethnic group was lost, the human race in front of it took advantage of its own ethnic group's ignorant thinking and took the opportunity to do something to it.
But it does not intend to pursue it, and the reason is very simple, because the human race has given these ordinary big Kuns incredible opportunities and fortunes that they would find difficult to find even if they spend their entire lives.
Compared to the benefits it gained, this little restraint was nothing. It could even say something shameless, and if it had a choice, it wouldn't mind sacrificing itself.
"Do you need us to swear an oath by heaven and make a covenant with you?"
Without waiting for Feng Qing'an to answer, Da Kun asked impatiently. His proactive attitude surprised Feng Qing'an.
"There's no need to swear an oath to the heavens!"
Feng Qing'an's expression was unnatural for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
"I need you to do something for me!"
"After we've done this for you, will we be able to get the same opportunity as this little guy?"
Before Feng Qing'an could finish speaking, Da Kun asked impatiently.
What you do is not important, what is important is what reward you get after doing it.
Although he is very old, he still has a long life left. However, this long life does not give him the slightest expectation, because he knows exactly everything he will experience in the future.
"Is it so easy to get an opportunity in this world?"
Even if it is to upgrade the bloodline of the entire Kun group, it is just a matter of spending more time for him. Although it cannot be said to be a piece of cake, it is not difficult. But he thinks it is simple, but he cannot let these Kuns think it is simple.
"What do you need us to do for you? What can we get after this?"
At this time, the ancient big Kun began to care about Feng Qingan's requests to them.
"It's not a big deal. It's just a small matter for you. I just landed here and I felt the malice of a group of mermaids here towards me. I want to eradicate the source of this malice, so I came to you through this little guy."
Feng Qing'an spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if it was a trivial matter like going there together to weed in the evening.
In fact, for this group of Kun, destroying a mermaid kingdom with human immortals is not a difficult task. With their size, it is enough for them to swim around the territory of the mermaids. They only need to pass by to destroy everything.
"As for what you will gain after destroying this mermaid kingdom?"
Feng Qingan's light tone became slightly more serious. He stared at the huge beast in front of him, whose eyeballs were larger than the 180-foot-tall body he had manifested.
"You have earned the qualification to follow me and the opportunity to receive my blessings!"
His extremely arrogant tone, even disrespectful to the Kuns, made all the big Kuns look at him. Even the two Kuns who had found their children and were immersed in joy, also set their eyes on him, but Feng Qingan seemed unaware.
"Who are you?"
Hearing Feng Qing'an say this, the ancient big Kun looked at him carefully, and then asked the question that should have been asked long ago.
"Me? I'm just a nameless person from the countryside who wants to travel around the world. I don't have a great background."
Feng Qing'an smiled casually and freely. If one really wanted to investigate it, he really had no background, and nothing he could say that could make him a world-famous name.
“…”
However, after hearing his words, all the Da Kuns fell silent. Even the oldest Da Kun didn't know how to respond.
Still unaware of the change in atmosphere, little Kun swam around in front of his parents with golden spots and divine patterns on his body, which was enough to prove how extraordinary this human race was.
In this situation, a person who claims to be nameless and without any background is more terrifying than someone with a sect or faction. We are not afraid of him revealing his background, but we are afraid of him saying nothing and there is no way to guess.
"Human race, even if we follow you, how can you take us with you? We are a remnant of the ancient times. We do not know the magical powers of transformation, nor do we practice such magical powers."
After being silent for a long time, the big Kun finally grew old and became a wise man. Even though it was an ancient beast that was not born with a very smart brain, it knew how to guess Feng Qing'an's origins through indirect hints.
"Isn't this simple? You enter my cave, and when I travel the world without trouble, you can travel in the vast ocean of my cave. If there is trouble, I will summon you, and you can surrender to the enemy for me!"
Feng Qing'an waved his hand nonchalantly, and a bright fairyland with rays of light and auspicious aura appeared behind him.
Cave heaven!
Even though few of these Kuns had ever seen the true paradise of immortals, relying on the inheritance hidden in their blood, they had basically all recognized it. What exactly was appearing before their eyes?
At this moment, any Kun who had a little bit of brains would look at Feng Qingan with a very different look in his eyes.
What kind of existence could open the entrance to the cave at will?
Fairy!
If he is really a celestial being, then it is not surprising that he has such magical powers to change his destiny.
It's just that the aura of this celestial immortal seemed extremely weak, so weak that they seemed able to swallow him whole with just a casual opening of their mouths.
"Are you the Celestial Immortal?"
The old Da Kun asked carefully and cautiously, if the seemingly weak human in front of him was really a celestial being, then he would have the magical power to destroy an entire tribe with just a wave of his hand, and even he would have difficulty resisting.
"A celestial being? No."
Feng Qing'an immediately shook his head to deny it, but his words and attitude fell into the eyes of this group of Da Kuns whose minds were not complicated and who were even very honest and straightforward. They thought that he was just fooling them. He even showed the cave heaven, but still denied that he was not a celestial being. Apart from celestial beings, who else could be in charge of a cave heaven?
He is not a celestial being, but he is able to control a cave heaven. In the immortal sect, such a person is more terrifying than an ordinary celestial being.
"Don't guess randomly. I really have no sect or school, so I didn't come to this cave. It was just luck. I got it by chance!"
Serendipity? Luck?
When Lao Kun heard Feng Qing'an's words, he became even more certain that this seemingly insignificant human race in front of him was indeed of great origin, so great that it was even difficult for him to guess.
Since it all involves the cave, there is no such thing as chance or coincidence, let alone any accidental mishap. Everything is destined by fate, and the so-called coincidences are all carefully arranged.
"Shangzun, where is the mermaid you mentioned?"
Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and Lao Kun asked Feng Qing'an directly, even if he could not get the same opportunity as that young man from the ethnic group, it would be good to get a chance.
"Why did you make the decision so quickly? Don't think about it any more. If you follow me, you will have to stay in the cave most of the time. Although the ocean there is not small, it is still too narrow compared to the endless sea in front of you."
Feng Qing'an looked at the old Kun in front of him and admired his decisiveness, but still gave him a reminder.
He could deceive the young and ignorant Xiao Kun, and even force a contract on him, turning him into his own beast.
But when facing these old Kuns who have endured for who knows how many years, you have to treat them with a relatively equal attitude. But don't fool them. If they get mad, he won't be able to control them and will have to run away.
"Does Your Excellency know how long I have been cruising in this deep sea?"
"I can't tell, but judging from your appearance, how many thousands of years have you lived?"
Feng Qing'an's estimate was relatively conservative, because as far as he knew, even if a human cultivator set foot on the Moxin stage, their lifespan would only be extended by a thousand five hundred years. However, it would not be surprising if the lifespan of these ancient giant beasts with special bloodlines was ten times that of humans.
"It has been seventeen thousand years. Even if this vast ocean is vaster, I am tired of seeing it. I want to try the feeling of soaring in the sky!"
"Understood!"
Feng Qingan immediately understood what the old Kun meant. But at the same time, he was a little curious.
"I have some doubts. I wonder if the elder would be willing to answer them for me?"
"I dare not speak for the Supreme Elder. If the Supreme Elder has any questions, please feel free to speak."
"I am such an insignificant body, why don't you be greedy and restrain me by force, maybe even try to take away the method of bloodline advancement from me?"
Feng Qing'an was a little curious. He admitted that his attitude just now was a little arrogant, but even with such an arrogant attitude, these big guys had no intention of attacking him. Should we say that they have a mild temper or are kind-hearted and fat?
"Your Majesty, although I am old, I still have 13,000 years of life left."
Hearing Feng Qing'an's questioning expression which seemed to be filled with a little curiosity, Lao Kun said in a deep voice.
He admitted that the brains of their clan were not very smart, but he had lived for so long after all. How could he attack a person who inexplicably helped the clan advance to a level that he could not even imagine in a short period of time, just to seize the method of bloodline advancement that he did not even know existed?
Even if his brain was hollowed out by something and his intestines were stuffed in, he would not make such a stupid plan.
"Hahaha, you're really funny."
Feng Qing'an burst into laughter when he heard this. Mature and steady was the best interpretation of the old Kun in front of him.
"Thank you for your compliment, Lord. May I ask which mermaid has angered Lord?"
"You'll have to ask your own people."
